Scouts BSA provides an exciting, fun filled
educational experience for youth as they travel through the
advancement program. A Scout plans their advancement and progresses
at their own pace. As the Scout meets and overcomes challenges they are rewarded and gain self-confidence.
To earn the Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in
Scouting, a Scout must fulfill requirements involving
leadership, service, and outdoor skills. Although many options are
available to demonstrate proficiency in these areas, a number of
specific skills are required to advance through the Tenderfoot,
Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. To advance, a Scout must pass specific tests that are organized by requirements and
merit badges.
After being awarded the Scout badge, there are six ranks in Scouts BSA that are to be earned sequentially no matter what age a youth joins the program. In Scouts BSA, requirements for rank advancement
must be passed as written. If a requirement uses words like "show",
"demonstrate" or "discuss", then that is what Scouts must do.
The first three ranks in the Scouts BSA program (Tenderfoot, Second
Class, and First Class) may be passed at any time after the Scout badge
has been earned. These ranks are oriented toward learning and
practicing skills that will help the Scout develop confidence and
fitness, challenge his thought processes, introduce them to their responsibilities as a citizen, and prepare them for an exciting and
successful Scouting experience.
The requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks, except for
those related to merit badges, must be fulfilled after the successful
completion of a board of review for the previous rank. Advancement at
this level presents a Scout with a series of challenges in a fun and
educational manner. As they demonstrate leadership and completes the
requirements they achieve the three aims of Scouting: to develop
character, to train in the responsibilities of participating
citizenship, and to develop physical and mental fitness.
Merit badges signify the mastery of certain skills, while helping boys increase their skills in areas of personal interest.
Of the 120 merit badges available, 21 must be earned to qualify for
Eagle Scout. 13 of those are required, including First
Aid, Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation,
Citizenship in the World, Communications, Cooking,
Personal Fitness, Personal Management, Camping, and Family Life. In
addition, a Scout has a choice between Emergency Preparedness or
Lifesaving and a choice among Cycling, Hiking, or Swimming, and a choice between Environmental Science or Sustainability.

Did you know?
According to the Alzheimer's Association, an estimated 5.4 million Americans were living with Alzheimer's Disease in 2012.
Nearly half of all adults over the age of 85 are living with Alzheimer's, a form of dementia that inhibits a person's memory, thinking and behavior. This memory disorder worsens over time and can be severe enough to interfere with daily activities. Alzheimer's often places stress on both the patient and their family and can leave the patient feeling isolated.

Set amidst the scenic countryside of the Sauerland, FORT FUN adventure park near Bestwig is a hugely popular place for a family day out. Its many spectacular attractions include the longest summer toboggan run in Europe, a hang-gliding adventure and wildwater rafting.
The Wild West in the west of Germany? If you don't believe it, pay a visit to FORT FUN adventure park and see for yourself! The 75-hectare site is packed with around 40 rides and attractions, some nostalgic, some futuristic, as well as a whole host of Wild West experiences and exciting shows. Experience the thrill of rock climbing at the new Gipfelstürmer climbing wall, located at the highest point in the park. A real cowboy feels as much at home in the saddle as anywhere – and at FORT FUN you can take in the scenery on a horse or pony ride just like in the Wild West. If you prefer the thrill of a rollercoaster to a leisurely tack over hill and dale, the Speed Snake and Devil's Mine are just for you. A must for thrill-seekers is the Wild Eagle sky glider, which flies 700 metres down the mountainside at more than 80 km/h. Those with a head for heights will also enjoy the Big Wheel and the Capt'n Crazy ship swing. You can also take a ride on the 480-metre-long Wild River or go whitewater rafting on the Rio Grande – but prepare to get wet! And there are lots of snack points to stop at once you've worked up an appetite.
One of the park's highlights is the Trapper SLIDER: at 1.3km it is Europe's longest toboggan run and guarantees steep downhill rides with loops, jumps and plenty of waves. Another is the WILD EAGLE, a state-of-the-art alpine coaster that launches you down the mountain at more than 80 km/h. The huge Mexico themed land is home to the spectacular 480-metre-long Rio Grande rapids ride, where torrents of water cut through the remarkably realistic canyon scenery. Experience an exhilarating voyage in your circular boat, past waterfalls, wave troughs and a swirling vortex. Prepare to be dazzled by a sensational mix of acrobatics and stunts at shows such as TATONKA and Duel in Santa Fe. The park's Halloween event, FORT FEAR Horrorland, offers plenty of tricks and treats on four days in October/November. Extend your adventure and stay overnight at FORT FUN's rustic Davy Crockett Camp and sleep like they did in the Wild West! The camp has 25 Canadian log cabins and offers direct access to the park.
